Agatha Christie's BBC Murders

Saturday, November 17, 2012 8pm

Lost during the London Blitz and post-war reconstruction, four rediscovered Agatha Christie gems from the BBC Mystery Series come to life for the first time on a Florida stage. Three Blind Mice was presented in 1947 in response to a request from Queen Mary for a new Christie mystery on the occasion of her 80th birthday. This classic was the inspiration for The Mousetrap, the world’s longest-running play. Yellow Iris, a musical set in a London cabaret, introduced the world to the now-beloved Inspector Hercule Poirot. This riveting mystery intersperses action with performances by the musicians and cabaret artists appearing at the restaurant where the murder is committed. Butter in a Lordly Dishtakes its title from a passage from the book of Judges in the Bible and refers to the story of Jael, who killed Sisera by driving a nail through his head. Finally, Personal Call introduces the legendary character Inspector Narracott from the 1931 novel The Sittaford Mystery.
